There are no training prerequisites for this course. A basic understanding of the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship will be most helpful. A rifle capable of one MOA accuracy equipped with a quality optic capable of repeatable windage and elevation adjustments is required. Northern Firearms Training have a limited number of precision caliber rifles with excellent optics for rent at $150 a day.

Please Note the following requirements!

Rifle: The rifle must be precision bolt action or semi-automatic rifle capable of firing groups of no more than 1.5 MOA in diameter with MOA and sub-MOA accuracy preferred. The rifle must have an optical scope sight. NO IRON SIGHTS or CQB optics can be used. We must have this restriction in place to avoid damage to the target mounts at the host range. Iron sights and the typical magnification range of CQB optics do not allow the precision of aiming required at the longer ranges to ensure target hits.Caliber Restrictions: Because of range limitations with the targets, the largest caliber authorized for this course is 50 Caliber. Only copper jacketed lead bullets or similar are allowed - no solid metal bullets can be used.Round Count: 100 rounds. Consistency is the hallmark of precision shooting. In order to obtain consistent and satisfying results in this course you MUST bring match grade ammunition of the same type and bullet weight - preferably from the same manufacturing lot number. If match grade ammo is not readily available please purchase ammo of the same bullet weight, type and lot number.Rifle Rest: All live fire will be from the prone / supported position.
